Joan Chelsen is a volunteer who has been at the store daily to make sure every kid who celebrates Chanukah got presents, CBS 2’s Emily Smith reported. It is the same for those looking forward to Christmas this year.

All the donated gifts are free and just for Sandy’s victims.

“Oh my gosh. It makes what happened to us so much easier,” said Laura Jean Sammarco, who is still out of her home. “You look at all the good things that people do and it really helps with the struggle.”

She said this helps make it feel like Christmas.

You do have to register with your FEMA number to prove Sandy affected you, Smith reported. Each family’s limited to a maximum of six toys.

So far they’ve gotten more than 6,000 brand new toys coming from Conn., Massachusetts — all over.

The store can still use volunteers, especially this weekend, Smith reported.
